There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win. The survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They’ll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference, they’ll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith.

The Prison Break limited series, which has been in the works for months at Fox, has finally come together. Fox’s Gary Newman officially announced the revival this morning. Creator/executive producer Paul Scheuring
is currently writing the first episode and a bible, and when he is
done, Newman fully expects the project to get straight-to-series order.

Stars Wentworth Miller, who got his break on Prison Break, and Dominic Purcell both
will be back. The 10-episode limited series is “a bit of a sequel, it
picks up several years after the end of the series,” Fox’s Dana Walden
said. The new installment will largely ignore the straight-to-video
finale, which saw the demise of Miller’s Michael, though the limited
series will provide “a logical and believable explanation to why the
characters are alive and still moving around the world,” Walden said.
“The brothers and some of the iconic characters will be back, and
it will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series
for a new audience,” she said.
